School is almost over. I have 3 days till Thanksgiving break and then dead week and finals week and i get out for christmas.

Feeling the crunch already....

I can already tell the semester is winding down. Everything is being crammed together. I'm starting to get stressed again. Which fortunately I have managed to stay away from more this semester. All my professors are trying to cram that last test in or squeeze in that extra chapter. I will probably not have much of a social life for the next 3 weeks. Next week I have 3 tests and then a project due, the next week is dead week where I will be studying my tail off for my 4 finals, that are on Mon, Tues, wed and Fri. These are the weeks that are gonna mean the most for my grades....I have been doing decent in most of my classes but I need to squeeze in that one last good grade.
On top of all this I have so much other stuff to be stressed about. I need a job for the summer. Do I stay in T-town with a crappy job or do I go home to the horrible $13 job and torture myself living with mom and dad for 2 months I had an interview yesterday but decided the job wasn't really something that I was interested in. So now I am back to square one. I just can't go back home.....I don't want it to be just like high school all over again, plus my fall semester is going to be hard and I need a break. I want to be able to do stuff with my friends......the main thing is I want to go to Dallas to visit Jess.
Jess and I have gotten so much closer this semester. I love her to death.

Back to class.....

So I haven't posted anything in a while. It has been crazy busy around here and then during spring break I didn't have any Internet access...yes I almost died. Spring break was fun. I pretty much just laidaround the house a lot. Nothing interesting but it wasn't class so nothing to complain about either.
I did get to hang out with Brittany. Monday night we went to a bible study at a family from her churches house. It was a 2 part thing so after bible study on Tues I spent the night with her and we went shopping on Wednesday. Bible study was great. It was called being "Sold out for God". We played a game on Monday to where you couldn't say "me" or "I" or you lost a chip( we started with 5 poker chips). It was all part of being humble...which is the first part of how to be sold out to God. The second night we played a treasure hunt type game with clues and stuff. My team won and we got this huge basket of candy....yummy. It was tied in with the last step "seeking his face". Afterwards we all piled in the game room to play some rock band...or in my case just watch.
Thursday I had lunch with my grandmother and cousin and then we went to the park so cousin could play. Friday was shopping with mom, Chelsea and her mom. Saturday I just hung around with mom.
Sunday was Easter. I went to Birmingham to see Justin and met some of his family and then it was back to good ole T-town.
I have a calculus 3 test tomorrow....wish me luck cause its gonna be hard.

Hurry Up Spring Break!!!!

2 more days till Spring Break!!!!! YAY I am so excited. I am desperately in need of a break. School is going better than last semester....thankfully. I just need a break. I want to go to the Beach for SB but no one will go with me... and I don't really have the money...although given the chance I think I could find it. Oh well maybe I can find enough things in the great big town of Woodville to keep me busy...yeah right!!! I am ready to go home and see my family.
The weekend was great. Mine and Roomies moms came down and we went to Cheesecake Factory in B'ham. I will try to post pics later.
This week is going by so fast ....I can't believe its Wednesday. I barely even remember what I did the last 2 days. Lets see....Monday class and Justin and I went to Bowers Park and threw with each other. That was the first time in forever that I have even picked up a ball.....it was fun though. Made me miss softball even more. Yesterday was stupid lab which is actually where I met this Justin character. Well Its time for class so this will have to be a short post.

<3>

Wow! This week has flown by...

This week has went by so quick. It has been a pretty good week though. We had some warm days, but it is supposed to get cold again tomorrow...ugh. I am ready for the warm weather....I am enjoying breaking out the flip flops again, and getting to do stuff outside.
Mine and roomies mommy's are coming down tomorrow...I'm pretty excited about that. We are supposed to go to Cheesecake factory sat night...yummy. I think friday night I am going to cook chicken parmesian.....I have almost perfected that recipe...it's great.
Maybe next week won't be so bad since it is right before Spring break. I have a test monday and that should be about it. Cal is starting to kick my butt. I am getting to the part where I dropped last semester so it is stuff I haven't saw before. Oh well maybe I will get caught up soon. I won't have a test till after spring break.
I want to do something for spring break but I am to broke and no one wants to go anywhere with me....oh well just a break will be nice.

Tests are over and it's the weekend...YAY

Well my co-op interviews went ok. I should hear back in a week or so. I'm kinda excited but then again really nervous. I am so glad it's the weekend. I had a test last night at 8 and then another one this morning at 10. I'm pretty sure I bombed them both. The one doesn't really matter, my final will replace all my test grades and by that point I think I will have a better understanding of things and be able to kick ass on the final.
The other test...well it was weird. A few of the questions were super easy, but the other ones were like proofs and crap and I had no clue how to do them. Not to mention that my teacher is super weird and is not the best teacher. Oh well....I think I will just pray for a curve.
The good news is that its the weekend and i can relax a little. Some of the girls are getting together for a sleep over tonight. I haven't decided if I want to go or not....I have a lot of homework that I need to catch up on and tomorrow my group has to finish our C++ project and I have dinner plans tomorrow night with some friends.
I should be doing some homework now but i am being lazy and playing on the computer. Hopefully next week won't be so bad. I don't think I have any tests but I do have lab and a couple of homework assignments due. My midterm grades were all B's that is considerably better than last semester. I'm pretty excited about that. I just have to keep it up and pull them up to A's...hmm I think we'll have to see about that.

Nervously Waiting......

So I am nervously awaiting my co-op interviews tomorrow. I am so nervous, but really I don't know why. I shouldn't be. They are all going to be in one big room and should only last about 30 minutes. I think I am more worried about picking the wrong company than anything. I just don't want to agree to work somewhere for 3 semesters and end up hating it. Oh well I guess that is how life works and I am just going to have to get over it and take that next step. I can do it, I am not unable to make decisions, I just want to be sure that I am making the right one. Maybe one of theme won't be so bad. I am going tonight to a info session for Southern Co. I will get to meet my interviewer and that kind of thing so maybe that will help.
I know that co-op is the best decision as far as gaining experience and being able to get a better job when I graduate.

So I should find out what I made on my Cal test today. I am pretty excited about that. I feel like I did well, but be my luck Dr. Wong will hand it back and it will look like someone was massacred on it from all the red marks. Hopefully not.
No lab today YAY!!!
Tonight Jess, Nikki, and I are cooking dinner for some friends and then I think we are going to watch a movie. Jess and I are making taco lasagna....a Rachael Ray creation and Nikki is making her ever so famous apple dumplings....yum o. Jess has been spending a lot of time over here lately. I love it. It was getting boring with just roomie and me.
So roomie might be getting a dog.....her boyfriend bought her a dog for Valentines day. I really hate dogs and don't want one living in the house. I think it will make our apt smells even worse than it already does.
I am doing so much better this semester as far as grades and stress goes. I actually don't have homework running out my ears and my grades are looking better. Now don't get me wrong, I do have homework and a lot of it at that but I just seem to have more time to do it and my tests are spread out more. I have 1 or 2 a week not 3 and 4.
I do have a linear test this fri....keep your fingers crossed on that one...its either going to be really easy or way off the charts hard.
Well I gotta get off this computer and get ready to go to class...... :)

Playing Photographer.....

Jess, Nikki and I were at bored so I decided to play around with my camera....here are some of the results... I love these girls
I like this one except of course I wasn't looking. but my camera has thatcolorswap thing on it and it brought out the green on my shirt,
Lil bit decided she needed some sugar since she was only visiting
This was to precious

Rainy Day in T-town

It's cold outside and raining. My two least favorite weather conditions. I haven't blogged in a while. School is keeping me busy. If I'm not studying for a test I am working on my CS project. Luckily it's a group project this time. My grades are looking a little better this semester. I'm pretty sure I made an A on my cal 3 test Wednesday. That will be 2 A's in that class. My CS 124 test did npt go so well, but it won't matter in the end cause my final will replace all the grades and by then I will understand the material better.
I have a linear test next friday. I'm am pretty much freaking out as well as the rest of the class cause teacher is weirdo dude that wears the same shirt everyday. There are only 2 test and a final. We have been in this class for almost 2 months and we are just now taking a test and he said that he couldn't give us any old tests or practice tests and that he would only do a small 15 minute review. He can't even work out a problem in 15 min. He assigns homework problems that he can't even work out when we ask him questions. I guess I will just have to pray to the linear algebra gods this weekend and sleep on my book so maybe all the stuff will sink in.

I also have co-op interviews coming up next week. I am pretty nervous about that. I just don't want to make the wrong decision with that because most companies want you to work with them for 3 semesters and I don't want to be stuck working somewhere that I am not happy. I also don't know how the living arrangements will work out. The only local company that I want to work for is Mercedes and I have heard through the ever so famous twisted grapevine that they do not usually hire their co-ops and that it is extremely difficult to get hired in the first place. I think my best bet will be somewhere in Huntsville. Although there is a pretty good company called Southern Company and they are located all over the South East. I'm pretty sure that they have a place in Birmingham. I have heard that they are good to work for. I really wanted to work with Adtran in Huntsville but their interview slots were filled up. Oh well something will work out. I'm just going to interview and see what I get and go from there.

It's been a while

Wow! I haven't blogged in over a week. So much has been going on. School has kept me so busy. Maybe I should just back up to the weekend. I went home and me and my parents and Brittany went out to dinner at PF Changs for my birthday. It was so good. It was Brittany's first time eating Chinese and even my dad liked it. Brittany straightened my hair for the first successful time ever. It actually looked good and I loved it. I kept it that way till Monday so my friends could see it. They loved it as well. So I guess I am about to be investing in a new straightner and and whatever it was that Britt used on my hair.
Well the weekend was short and now its the middle of the week. I have discovered that tuesday labs suck. I thought doing them in the begining of the week would be fun but no it just makes things hectic. I wasn't thinking about lab reports and pre-labs and all that stuff.
I just need the weekend to come so I can get caught up on some homework and stuff.

Cal test went well

I made a 90 on my cal 3 test.....YAY for me!!! I am so excited. My birthday weekend kinda sucked though. I was sick most of the time. I had the horrible chest cold that everyone has. Friday night we had a little birthday party at a friends house, but of course I was sick and just fell asleep. My fever came back about 11:00 that night and didn't go away till about 4:30 Saturday morning so I didn't sleep good at all. I would wake up freezing and then wake up sweating off and on all night long. I slept saturday morning till about noon. Jess was dying to take me out to eat for my birthday so we went to logans. Jess bought me cookie cake,yummy. Sunday was my birthday. I didn't do much, just some homework and then went to a friends house to watch the Super Bowl. It was weird to be sick and it be my birthday without my mom here...:( I was kinda sad.

Awful Day....

This has been an interesting week. To start with yesterday was good. My cal test went well and I'm sure I did well. The test was the exact same as the one I had from last semester. Last night roomie and I were great friends and went to pick up our friends that had a little to much fun at Buffalo Wild Wings and then we even went to get thier vehicle.
Today on the other hand is a different story. Number one I had a test at 8pm tonight. Today has been horrible. Last night i noticed that my throat felt funny. It was like my chest and throat were feeling tight or something. Well I woke up this morning and my throat was still hurting and it was getting worse. So on my way to class I stop at CVS and get some medicine. I listened to the lady there and got some liquid crap. I get to my car take the medicine besides the fact that I almost gagged and threw up because of the horrible taste everything was fine. I was even careful not to spill it everywhere. After this I drive to school and I am sitting in my car waiting for the bus and I decided to read the medicine box. Little did I know that I had obviously not put the top back on good and I had laid the bottle down sideways. I was very soon covered in nasty medicine as was everything in my car 30 min b/f class starts.
I had to go back to my apt and change because I had cough med. everywhere. So I rush home, change, grab some paper towels and a plastic bag to try to semi clean up the mess and then go all the way back to wait on the bus AGAIN!. The bus is slow and I ended up being 10 minutes late to class. But I had to catch the bus that only takes me half way to my building so walking fast in the cold did not help my throat at all. By the time I got to class my throat was on fire. Luckily I had a bottle of water so that helped.
Well I make it through class and I am starting to feel worse but still ok and no fever. Within like a hour and a half I was miserable. I was studying with a friend for the test that we had at 8p.m. and then he had to go to class. I went to sit with roomie while she ate lunch. By this point I was convinced that I had the flu. I was trying to call a Dr. office but never could get an answer. My head, back and chest were hurting and I'm sure my fever was at least 101 if not 102, but I was freezing. My throat felt like it was on fire. A friend gave me some advil, I didn't think it would help but she was convinced that it would so I took it. I don't know what's in Advil but within an hour i felt so much better. I could tell the exact moment that my fever broke and then my head and back stopped hurting. My chest still hurts really bad and I may still go to the doctor tommorrow. Sunday is my birthday and I don't want to be sick. Actually have birtday plans for tomorrow night, but who knows if I will feel up to it.
The test was ok. It wasn't to hard considering that friend and I studied all afternoon. We did take a coldstone break and he bought me ice cream. It kinda sucked though cause today is his birthday and he was kinda sick to. But he was a sweetheart and put up with me all day. I tried to not to whine to much but I just really felt awful. I haven't felt like this in a loooong time.

1 week till my Birthday

I am not ready for this weekend to be over. I have 2 tests next week..already. I am not ready for tests yet. The good news is that I have old test from previous semesters that I can use to study with. That always helps. I have actually had a pretty good weekend. Friday roomie and I went on a date together at Olive Garden and when we got done stuffing our face and making pigs out of ourselves we rented some movies and went back to our apt. and started watching them when a friend of ours from Highschool called and said him and another friend we graduated with were in town for the basketball game. So we gave them directions to our apt. They came over and we played guitar hero.....of course we would. Saturday we offered to show them around campus, so we took them to Mughshots a really good burger place on the strip and took them around campus and all. We showed them some of the buildings and where to park for the game and all that good stuff.

. Later we went ice skating with some friends in Pelham. It was a lot of fun. I did not fall the entire time....and yes I let go of the side....lol. No one got hurt thank goodness. Except right when it was 9 and they told everyone to clear the ice this little girl fell and either tore her ACL or broke her leg. It was bad. A few of our friends that are in nursing school were out there at the time and went over to help her. They had to call the ambulance and everything.



Half the gang that went Ice Skating. L to R....Shaun, Me, Mollie, Allison, Jess Tomas, Emma Anne, Kellie, Christina and Jacob. I was about to fall.

Christina, Allison, Kris, Mollie, and Jason

Today has been a pretty lazy day. Just trying to study and get ready for my tests next week. My Birthday is in 1 week. I am so excited. I tried to convince my parents to come down and take me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, but my dad is not game for that idea....:(. Oh well maybe one day I will manage to go there. I think my friends from Highschool that didn't get to come this weekend are going to try and come this weekend and we are going to have a little birthday party...:) That should be fun.

School.......it's back

School is starting to get hectic again. I have my first C++ program due tomorrow. The long nights in Houser computer lab has already began. I am actually enjoying this semester, Although I haven't had any tests yet so we will see. I have made a couple of new friends. By now I am getting my routine down again, You know what time to wake up, what time to leave, who is going to be in the Ferg for lunch...blah blah blah. My Linear teacher still ceases to amaze me in wearing his very ugly 80's sweatshirt..EVERYDAY! But the class is easy so far so I'm not complaining. Which reminds me that I have not recieved my other book that I orderd off line over 2 weeks ago!! Obviously books have thier own form of mail called Media mail and it's EXTREMELY slow. I was not aware of this.
So friend from High School is not coming this weekend....:( her stepdad doesn't want her to drive down here alone and no one can come with her. So I guess It will just be me and rooomie this weekend. Any one want to come visit?? We are up for visitors. The idea of going ice skating in B'ham has been thrown around a little but not sure yet.
It's only 10 days till my birthday!!! YAY! Although 20 is not going to be a very interesting age. Nothing will change. Although my mom is a little upset that I won't be a teenager any more. It is kinda weird to think about being 20 though. It seems like when I was younger and I thought about someone being 20. I thought man they are so grown up and can do whatever they want, but I just don't feel like that. It's hard to explain. I just don't feel like what I used to imagine a 20 year old being like. Oh well right now I am starving so I'm going to leave early and get some breakfast before class.

3 Day Weekend!

My weekend was ok. Nothing to major, but nothing horrible either. Friday night I went to a friends apt on campus and a few girls and I watched a movie. The Holiday to be exact. It's a great chick flick. I even know a few guys that like it. It was late when we left so I decided to stay the night with the Jesses they live on campus as well. Also it was supposed to snow. I pretty much knew that it wouldn't, but in the unlikely event that it did.....I did not want to be snowed in alone at my apt. Roomie went to Kentucky as I mentioned in a previous post. It did snow...for a very short time. One Jess and I walked around campus while it snowed.Other Jess stayed in the room cause she is from Massachusets and snow is something she see's all the time. It was very pretty. It barely even covered the ground but the quad and the buildings were still pretty. I wish it would have snowed a couple of inches. Campus would be beautiful and a huge snowball fight on the quad would be awesome!!
Later we went to dinner with a friend who lived down the hall from the Jesses. This semester he is co-oping so we haven't seen him in a while. We went to Olive Garden...YUMMY!! Then we went and watched the bucket list. It was an ok movie. Kinda predictable. We walked out and the Jesses were just bawling. I had a tear, but I don't cry over movies. So it was nothing big.
Sunday a friend came over and we worked on C++ project and played guitar hero.
Today I had lunch with Jess and another friend, and now I am trying to get caught up on Homework. I want to have everything done before the weekend because a friend from highschool is coming to visit so I want to be able to spend time with her and not be doing hw.

I hate online Calculus

School is starting to get hectic. I am doing ok with not falling behind. Hopefully it will stay that way. I have my first CS 124 project to write this weekend. I don't think it will be that bad. It's kinda a review from last semester so far. Calculus is getting on my nerves. I hate the stupid online HW. It drives me nuts. My linear teacher still wears his old school sweatshirt EVERYDAY! I guess it's like his comfort thing or something. It is so ugly though. We all make fun of him. I know we should be ashamed.
This weekend is going to be boring cause roomie won't be here. She is going to visit her boyfriend and his family. :( I will miss her. Oh well I will have enough stuff to keep me busy. At least it's 3 day weekend. Me and some friends are supposed to have girls night tomorrow night. She was recently married and they live in an apartment on campus. She is kicking her husband out for the night so we can all come over. It will be fun I think. As for the rest of the weekend I have zero plans. I'm sure I will find something though. My birthday is in 17 days. I am excited, although I think 20 will be kinda a boring age. I can't do anything different than now. But it is kinda freaking me out that I won't be a teenager anymore.

While I still have some freedom and my sanity...

So class went well this week. Nothing to major yet. It fills good to still have my sanity while class is going on. I know next week it will all start back full fledge though. I still don't have my books. I ordered them off line and they have not arrived yet. I am going to be behind on some reading by the time they get here.
The weekend has been good so far. Last night Nikki, Jeremiah, and I had dinner at Outback....yummy! Thanks Jeremiah. Today the 3 of us went to the Galleria in B'ham. Jeremiah wanted to get new clothes. Tomorrow my parents are coming down here and bringing my new desk. Actually it's not new, it's one we had at home, but it is bigger. I am excited. Maybe now I will have somewhere to actually do my Homework and my room won't stay so cluttered with books. Roomie has turned me into more of a neat freak. I am so tired I'm thinking about going to bed early. Being up till 4 a.m this morning is catching up with me.

Guy advice needed?????

I don't know what to do about this little love triangle I have gotten myself into. I don't even know how it happened. I was all fine and dandy with being single, although still looking for any prospective candidates and then guy #1 comes along. You know.... we hang out, go to dinner a few times, you know normal stuff. Well then he tells me that he's not really looking for a realtionship right now. Well now I'm thinking thats just great. I find someone that I like and am interested in and it's not going to work. So I begin to try to give up and quickly find that not working. So I try to go along and just kinda forget about him. No not going to work. We have by this point established a great friendship and just continue to see each other. He was sending me mixed signals and by this point had my feelings on a giant emotional roller coaster. One day it was all good and then the next day it was like he hated me. I never knew what to think. By the time I had myself talked into giving up then everything turned around again. Most of it had to do with the fact that it was mid semester and stress was just soaring through everyone at this point.
Well then here comes guy # 2. He is awesome. I had class with him. We talked and studied together sometimes. Well then I start to realize that he might be crushing on me a little bit. Since we started out as friends, I had already talked to him about guy #1 and the situation I was in. He was really nice about it and just listened. So eventually he asked me out and at this point I said yes. Well it was right before Christmas break so we were going to wait till we came back. I thought that the break would help me figure out which direction I wanted to go in. Yeah right!! At first I didn't think that anything would evolve with guy #2 so I told him that I wasn't over guy # 1 and didn't want to lead him on, but at the same time I didn't want to push him away. I know that was so selfish of me. So of course we continue to talk and I continued to weigh the facts of each guy and what I needed to do. One day I would feel like guy #1 and one day guy #2 and back and forth I went. I kept trying to tell guy #2 that I didn't think I could give up guy #1 and that It probably wasn't going to work and I just didn't want him to waste his time hanging around for me. I know that is definitly not what any guy wants to hear.
So.....hear I am...
Not only do I like guy #1 a lot, but he helped me so much last semester. He lit that fire back under my tail that helped me make the grades I did. For some reason I just feel so motivated by him. He's older than me so he has some worldly experience. It's so insprirational to me that he actually has goals and has everything about him devoted them. There's just something about him I don't know how to describe it. I feel so comfortable around him. I just have so much fun being around him and can't stand being away from him. At first he came across as an ass so some of my friends don't like him but most of them do.
And behind door number 2 we have guy #2. He is awesome. He is sweet, attractive, and I have so much fun being around him. I do like him, I'm just not sure if it's on that realtionship level that he wants. When we hang out it's kinda awkward. It's not that I don't feel comfortable around him, it's just i feel like I am hiding something from him.
This is all so new to me. I have never had to be the heart breaker. I don't know how to tell him that I just want to be friends. I don't want to break his heart but I can't continue to let this go on. I haven't just been leading him on this whole time. I thought something might eventually become of it but now I just think It won't. I would absolutlely love to be friends with him. I just don't know how to tell him, but I have got to figure it out and FAST!! I can't keep going on like this. I am NOT that girl. It breaks my heart everytime I think about hurting him. He is such a sweet guy, but he deserves more than what I've got to offer right now.

Guitar Hero.....ugh!!

Class started today. Today was an easy day but it was basically a "Hi my name is Dr. whatever heres the syllabus this is what we are going to do bye see you next time". Only one of my teachers is American. My cal teacher is Chinese, but I like him. I had him last semester before I had to drop his class. He is a great teacher, I just had to much going on at one time. My linear Algebra teacher is a nut and obviously stuck in the 80's. He walked in with this awful mess of semi curly hair all over his head ( Britt you would have died). It looked as if he barely even combed it. He was wearing this grey sweatshirt that said class of "something" but it had "spoiled brat" written in pink and purple letters. As if that was not enough he had on a plaid button up shirt underneath to where you could only see the collar. I must have missed the part where someone said it was ok for guys to wear shirts that say "Spoiled brat". Especially professors at a prestigious University such as the University of Alabama.
My latest addiction is guitar hero. I don't particularly like the game but it is begining to grow on me. Roomie got it for Christmas so now I play it all the time. I am starting to get a little better at it. The better I get the more fun it gets.

Coming sooner than I want

So classes start back tomorrow. I am in a few ways looking forward to it but in a few ways not. For one I do feel more motivated to do better this semester. I get a fresh start and I feel like I actually do know what is coming at me and not just being blindsighted by the whole thing. But the on the other hand I do know that this semester is going to be tough and keep me on my toes. I have calculus 3 and linear Algebra (or matrix theory as they call it) plus I have CS 124 which is the next C++ class and I have heard it is really hard and I don't doubt that for a second and also I have a class called Digital Logic. I'm not sure what it is about but it is one of my main courses for my specific major. Hopefully it won't be to bad. Right now I am just trying to look on the bright side and keep telling myself that this is a new semester and I can do it. I just am trying to keep my head above water and not start drowning to soon.
I did actually get to have some fun before classes though. I hung out with some friends this weekend and roomie and I went to some friends house last night and maybe had a little to much fun...**wink..wink** and we got to see the Jesses tonight we had dinner with them and then played guitar hero...I missed those girls so much. Still a little confused on the dating situations but I think I am just going to try being single for a while. I'm really enjoying just taking care of me and worrying about what I need and not having to deal with someone else all the time.
Well I need to quit griping on here and get some sleep so I will actually wake up for class .
For now just pray that I can start this semester off on the right foot and I don't feel like jumping off Denny Chimes any time soon....lol...it has crossed my mind in the past.

Back in T-town

Honey I'm home!!!! I am back in t-town and of course it's just as boring as home. But thats ok my friends will all be back soon and school will be here soon enough. Then I will most definitly not be bored. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. It's funny how I got so attached to so many people. Now it's a lose lose situation....I miss people if I go home and I miss people if I stay. But what can I say at least I was blessed with so many great friends!!! Today has been a pretty boring day. I went to target and bought some food and thats about it. I am so excited to have fast internet back again.

Christmas Break is Almost Over

So it's almost time to go back to school. In some ways I am excited and others I am sad. I am ready to go back and see all my friends, but I know as soon as I get there the fun and games will be short lived and then it's back to reality and studying my brain off. Like I said in a earlier post.....my goal is to make better grades this semester. I am also ...as wierd as this may seem.....ready for classes to start so I can get back into a routine again. I think thats mostly because I know it is going to eventually come. I am begining to get bored here...I'm running out of things to do and people to go visit. Don't get me wrong I have had a great Christmas break and all I am just feeling a little lazy and don't want that to become to big of a habit. Because being in college at Bama leaves me everything short of being lazy, that is at least if I plan to make it at all there. I have new plans for this semester. I want to start going to the rec center and working out. I plan to do this in the mornings before class. Since class doesn't start until 10 or 11 every morning this will be a good way to get me out of bed. Plus I need to stay a size 5-7 for a while....I like it that way. I don't want to get fat. Speaking of getting fat... I need to get away from this house and all its food. Don't get me wrong..I LOVE my mama's cooking and all but I have been eating to much. Plus all the candy and goodies from the holidays....I have probably gained a few pounds since I have been here. It's like wow there is actually food in this house. Because Nikki and I keep very little food in out apartment. That brings up another goal for this semester. To cook more and to eat more healthy. Last semester consisted of to much eating out. I know how to cook..it's just finding the time to that was a problem. This semester I need to cook more. So if you have any yummy, quick and easy recipes...you can share the secret.

So as for the past couple of days I haven't really accomplished much . New Years Eve I went to a friend from churchs house. I pretty much just played with my pastors 2 year old all night.
New Years day was pretty boring. I was incredibly tired and went to bed at like 9:30. Today I scrapbooked with a friend. That was lots of fun. We had some drama at Wal-mart this morning trying to print pics but after probably close to 2 hours we finally headed for her house. Then her mom fixed us some lunch so I ended up staying at her house all afternoon, but we had lots of fun. Scrapbooking is something that I miss a lot. I don't have room for my stuff at my apt, nor do I really have the time to do anything when I am there. I managed to do 6 pages today though. I'm kinda caught up for now. Tomorrow morning I have to go to the eye Doctor. I am not looking forward to getting up early and getting out in the cold. BRRRR. Tomorrow afternoon I am supposed to have dinner with some really close friends from High School. I am pretty excited about that. I don't get to see them very often. We were all super close in High School. Most of us have grew up together so not seeing each other often was a big change.
